6 FAQs about [Heterojunction cell test curve]

How to analyze current-voltage curves of planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells?

A universal and simple method to analyze current-voltage curves of planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells is proposed. The new method theoretically solves the dilemma of the parameter diode ideal factor being larger than 2. The dark current fitted with the new method helps to analyze physical processes of perovskite solar cells.

What is a heterojunction layer?

The heterojunction comprises two layers that we define as the base layer, which is the lower band gap layer responsible for the majority of light absorption and carrier generation, and the emitter, which completes the junction and participates in carrier extraction.

Can heterojunctions improve recombination efficiency in solar cell devices?

Heterojunctions offer the potential for enhanced efficiency in solar cell devices. 1,2,3 Device modeling and experiment suggest that shifting a portion of the depletion region formed at a p-n junction into a wider band gap material reduces the Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination rate.

Does the device model capture the physics controlling the performance of rear heterojunction devices?

The close agreement over a wide range of doping suggests that the device model captures the relevant physics controlling the performance of these rear heterojunction devices.

What is a silicon-based heterojunction?

This methodology enables the parametric quantification of microscopic characteristics for silicon-based heterojunctions with greater convenience and accuracy. Solar cells with functional structures of silicon-based heterojunctions, including silicon heterojunctions (SHJs) or dopant-free heterojunctions (DFHJs), are multilayer thin-film devices.

Do heterojunctions improve efficiency in lower-quality materials?

We also show that heterojunctions yield proportionally larger efficiency improvements in lower-quality materials. Although the modeling was developed and validated using III-V materials, the results are theoretically applicable to materials systems outside III-Vs.
